The video has drawn attention for the very different picture it offers of office life, with viewers reacting to everything from the facilities to the food and the way employees can spend their time there.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The tour was shared by Katarine Emanuela Klitzke on Instagram after she visited the office. Her visit was mainly about checking out the much-discussed food, but the video ended up covering several other parts of the workplace too.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>As the tour made its way through social media, the reactions were not limited to people discussing what was available inside the office. Some viewers also questioned whether such workplace facilities have any connection with the actual experience of working there.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>The office has some unusual spaces<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>One of the more unusual parts of the tour was a car inspired by Back to the Future. The car is also used as a meeting space.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>Klitzke also showed an art and craft area located next to a rooftop. Another room in the office is meant for board games.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>Employees can borrow the games to play at home, according to Klitzke. They can also join other Google employees for board-game sessions on Thursdays.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The tour further showed the office restrooms, where items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, and hand lotion were available.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Then came the food<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The food section gave viewers a look at what employees can find during the workday.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>Klitzke said employees are offered three meals a day, while snacks are available throughout the day as well.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>Every floor has a separate kitchen, according to her. These spaces have cold drinks, flavoured water, and coffee machines, along with snacks such as fruits, chips, chocolate bars, and granola bars.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"27\"\/>Cooking classes are also offered at the office, and Klitzke said these are free for employees.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>ID@undefined <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\"\/><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\"\/> Caption not available.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"36\"\/>ID@undefined <span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\"\/><span class=\"em\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\"\/> Caption not available.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"41\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What is on the menu?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The breakfast spread shown in the video included eggs, yoghurt, fruits, baked goods, and croissants.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"44\"\/>Lunch had a wider selection, with pizza, salad bars, shrimp, risotto, poke bowls, and ramen among the options shown.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"46\"\/>After showing the food, Klitzke summed up her experience by saying, \u201cSo yeah, the Google food is totally worth the hype.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"48\"\/>She had also explained the reason behind her visit in the caption of the Instagram post: \u201cWhile in San Francisco last week, I had to stop at a @google office and check out how their free food actually was!\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"50\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Social media had mixed views<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>The office facilities impressed some viewers, but the comments also brought up a larger discussion around workplace culture.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"54\"\/>One user argued that attractive office perks do not necessarily mean employees have an easy working life, writing, \u201cYes, fun amenities BUT your deadlines and projects are laser focused and you won&#8217;t be relaxing. It&#8217;s survival and only a season very rarely a career\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"57\"\/>Another commenter focused on the amount of time someone might spend at the workplace, saying, \u201cAnyone who is in the office long enough to need eat all 3 meals a day needs help, or doesn&#8217;t value their time and health\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"59\"\/>The Back to the Future meeting space, however, got a much more light-hearted reaction.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"62\"\/>\u201cBro wdym BTTF Time Machine as a meeting space who thought of that?!\u201d another user commented.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"64\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Disclaimer: The views expressed in this article are those of the individuals quoted and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Times of India.<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"66\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Thumb image: Instagram<\/span><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/etimes\/trending\/google-office-tour-goes-viral-free-food-game-room-and-cooking-classes-leave-social-media-divided\/articleshow\/133159143.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google office tour goes viral A workplace tour has turned into an unexpected social media talking point after a visitor shared what she found inside a Google office in San Francisco.
